Todd Jorstad

Ronald “Todd” Jorstad, 54, was called on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, from this Heavenly earth way too soon, following a courageous battle with cancer, in Shreveport, Louisiana. He was born on Saturday, July 18, 1970, in Shreveport, Louisiana. Todd enjoyed hunting and fishing with his son Seth. He loved watching his children Reagan and Seth play baseball and softball. He enlisted in the US Marine Corps and served on the Silent Drill Team. He was a member of First Baptist Church of Haughton, where he loved worshiping Christ with his family and friends. Todd had such an outgoing spirit and a love for life. He was always smiling and cutting up. Todd has touched so many lives, and his presence will forever be missed.
